As the model strutted (昂首阔步) down the runway, everyone went silent. They were actually showing great respect and admiration. As 24-year-old Niu Yu, walking with a prosthetic limb (假肢), showed confidence on the runway wearing an oversized sweater.
For Niu, it has been a long journey since an earthquake struck her village in Sichuan Province in 2008. She was at school and eager to go home to celebrate her birthday on May 12. But the earthquake took place and Niu was buried. She was only saved three days later and lost her right leg. “I struggled for quite a long time before putting on the prosthetic leg and could not stand people staring at me,” Niu said.
That was until 2018 when Niu decided to make a big change in her life. On May 12 that year, she took part in a marathon (马拉松) and she completed it. “It suddenly became clear and I know that I must be brave to face the world,” she added. She then took many pictures and posted them on the Internet, writing:“In fact, this is how I look.”
In August 2021, she shared a funny incident (事件) while playing the escape room game. In the dark room, a worker—who was supposed to scare the players—came from behind and pulled her right leg so hard that the prosthetic limb came off. “I turned around and we came eye-to-eye. His face turned pale (苍白的), then he shouted and ran away,” she smiled.
On October 11, she received a surprise invitation from a sportswear brand, asking her to model their products. Just as she was hesitating (犹豫), she recalled an encouraging note received from a disabled person last year. The message says, “Although we are not perfect, we are still beautiful.” Niu then grabbed the chance.
“Everyone comes into this world with an aura (光环). You may be ordinary but you are definitely one of a kind,” she said.
38. Why did Niu Yu walk with a prosthetic limb?
A. She got badly hurt in the marathon. B. She lost her right leg in the earthquake.
C. She was caught in the escape room game. D. She wanted to get respect from the audience.
39. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A A funny incident. B. The earthquake. C. Face the world. D. The marathon.
40. What is the correct order about Niu Yu?
a. She completed a marathon.
b. She put on the prosthetic leg.
c. She suffered from the earthquake.
d. She shared an incident about the escape from game.
e. She was invited by a sportswear brand to be a model.
A. c-a-b-d-e B. c-b-a-d-e C. e-b-c-a-d D. e-a-b-c-d
41. What does the underlined word “grabbed” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Stole. B. Found. C. Caught. D. Won.
42. What is Niu Yu like according to the passage?
A. Humorous and clever. B. Quiet and honest.
C. Strong and optimistic. D. Creative and friendly.
【答案】38. B 39. D 40. B 41. C 42. C
【解析】

【41题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段“On October 11, she received a surprise invitation from a sportswear brand, asking her to model their products. Just as she was hesitating (犹豫), she recalled an encouraging note received from a disabled person last year. The message says, “Although we are not perfect, we are still beautiful.” Niu then grabbed the chance.”可知,10月11日,她收到了一个运动服装品牌的惊喜邀请,请她为他们的产品做模特。就在她犹豫的时候,她回忆起去年收到一位残疾人的鼓励信。信息上写着:“虽然我们不完美,但我们仍然美丽。”牛抓住了机会。所以此处grabbed意为“抓住”。故选C。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“That was until 2018 when Niu decided to make a big change in her life. On May 12 that year, she took part in a marathon (马拉松) and she completed it.”并结合全文内容可知,牛钰因汶川地震失去右腿的牛雨,通过参加马拉松、分享生活趣事、成为模特等经历,展现出坚强乐观的品质。故选C。
C
What comes to mind when you think of archaeologists (考古学家)? Are they as cool as the characters in some movies? Let’s discover the world of archaeologists.
① ________
Historical treasures are often hidden underground. To find the proper place for digging, archaeologists do surveys to search for signs of ancient sites (遗址). These signs may be things like broken pieces of ancient tools. It’s hard work. They have to walk across the field in all kinds of weather. Besides, it requires much experience and professional knowledge to tell an ordinary rock from a stone tool.
② ________
Archaeologists spend a lot of time in the lab studying the discoveries. Luckily, they are now closer to answering those mysteries (奥秘) than ever with the help of modern technology. The first thing they need to do is to find out the age of the things discovered. They also examine bones of humans or animals to find out the cause of their death and what they ate during their lifetime.
③ ________
Ancient objects can be damaged (损坏) in different ways. For example,bowls and cups are often in pieces,and metal tools are usually covered with rust (铁锈).

You might have heard about identity theft (身份盗窃): it means a thief gets enough of someone’s information to commit fraud (诈骗). Why should people care about it? Because recovering a stolen identity can be a hard process. Imagine that someone opens a credit card in your name, gets a cell phone number in your name, or buys things using a credit card that has your name on it.
ID thieves can be creative about getting your information. There are some low-tech ways they get it: sometimes they steal rubbish, going through it to find personal information, or they steal mail.
There are high-tech ways, too: ID thieves might put software onto your computer secretly. The software, called badware, let a thief see everything on your computer, and record everything you type on your computer. Unluckily, even if you’re really careful with your personal information. thieves can still get your personal information. Sometimes, they get into computer systems at shops, schools, hospitals or businesses. They look for personal information to use or sell to other thieves.
It’s pretty easy for you and your family to stop a thief stealing your identity. You can start with the low-tech defenses (防御). Be careful with your mail and rubbish. And be sure to take care of your wallet, or your backpack. It’s especially important not to carry your Social Security card with you. Keep it in a safe place at home.
Practice some higher-tech defenses, too: protect your computer by turning on an up-to-date firewall (防火墙). Once you’ re online, be careful with your personal information. When you get emails or pop-ups on your computer, don’t respond automatically (自动响应). Stop and think before you click—it could help keep your information private, and keep badware off your computer.
48. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. It is easy for your mail to be stolen.
B. We should put away our mail to avoid identity theft.
C. We cannot throw rubbish in order to protect our personal information.
D. Even some useless things can make you face the danger of identity theft.
49. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the third paragraph?
A. It’s impossible to find a way to stop identity theft.
B It’s hard for a thief to collect your personal information.
C. Thieves are very good at finding ways to collect people’s personal information.
D. People can protect their personal information as long as they are careful enough.
50. Which best shows the writer’s idea about identity theft?
A. Identity theft is an easy problem that can be dealt within a second.
B. Identity theft will finally be stopped as computer software becomes better.
C. Identity theft is a serious problem that can be reduced with a few simple habits.
D. Identity theft happens more commonly to adults because they are not good at using computers.
51. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The different types of software used by ID thieves.
B. How to use credit cards safely to avoid identity theft.
C. The dangers of identity theft and ways to protect against it.
D. Why people should always carry their Social Security cards.
52. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

As the model strutted (昂首阔步) down the runway, everyone went silent. They were actually showing great respect and admiration. As 24-year-old Niu Yu, walking with a prosthetic limb (假肢), showed confidence on the runway wearing an oversized sweater.
For Niu, it has been a long journey since an earthquake struck her village in Sichuan Province in 2008. She was at school and eager to go home to celebrate her birthday on May 12. But the earthquake took place and Niu was buried. She was only saved three days later and lost her right leg. “I struggled for quite a long time before putting on the prosthetic leg and could not stand people staring at me,” Niu said.
That was until 2018 when Niu decided to make a big change in her life. On May 12 that year, she took part in a marathon (马拉松) and she completed it. “It suddenly became clear and I know that I must be brave to face the world,” she added. She then took many pictures and posted them on the Internet, writing:“In fact, this is how I look.”
In August 2021, she shared a funny incident (事件) while playing the escape room game. In the dark room, a worker—who was supposed to scare the players—came from behind and pulled her right leg so hard that the prosthetic limb came off. “I turned around and we came eye-to-eye. His face turned pale (苍白的), then he shouted and ran away,” she smiled.
On October 11, she received a surprise invitation from a sportswear brand, asking her to model their products. Just as she was hesitating (犹豫), she recalled an encouraging note received from a disabled person last year. The message says, “Although we are not perfect, we are still beautiful.” Niu then grabbed the chance.
“Everyone comes into this world with an aura (光环). You may be ordinary but you are definitely one of a kind,” she said.
38. Why did Niu Yu walk with a prosthetic limb?
A. She got badly hurt in the marathon. B. She lost her right leg in the earthquake.
C. She was caught in the escape room game. D. She wanted to get respect from the audience.
39. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A funny incident. B. The earthquake. C. Face the world. D. The marathon.
40. What is the correct order about Niu Yu?
a. She completed a marathon.
b. She put on the prosthetic leg.

What comes to mind when you think of archaeologists (考古学家)? Are they as cool as the characters in some movies? Let’s discover the world of archaeologists.
① ________
Historical treasures are often hidden underground. To find the proper place for digging, archaeologists do surveys to search for signs of ancient sites (遗址). These signs may be things like broken pieces of ancient tools. It’s hard work. They have to walk across the field in all kinds of weather. Besides, it requires much experience and professional knowledge to tell an ordinary rock from a stone tool.
② ________
Archaeologists spend a lot of time in the lab studying the discoveries. Luckily they are now closer to answering those mysteries (奥秘) than ever with the help of modern technology. The first thing they need to do is to find out the age of the things discovered. They also examine bones of humans or animals to find out the cause of their death and what they ate during their lifetime.
③ ________
Ancient objects can be damaged (损坏) in different ways. For example,bowls and cups are often in pieces,and metal tools are usually covered with rust (铁锈). Before repairing these objects, archaeologists use X-rays to look for damage. If the rust is harmful, they need to make it disappear and repair the object with something special. In this process, they have to be very patient and careful so as not to damage the value of the object.
Though the job can be physically tiring or requires working long hours in the lab, most archaeologists are proud of their work. It’s their hard work that has brought the lost treasures back to life.

You might have heard about identity theft (身份盗窃): it means a thief gets enough of someone’s information to commit fraud (诈骗). Why should people care about it? Because recovering a stolen identity can be a hard process. Imagine that someone opens a credit card in your name, gets a cell phone number in your name, or buys things using a credit card that has your name on it.
ID thieves can be creative about getting your information. There are some low-tech ways they get it: sometimes they steal rubbish, going through it to find personal information, or they steal mail.
There are high-tech ways, too: ID thieves might put software onto your computer secretly. The software, called badware, let a thief see everything on your computer, and record everything you type on your computer. Unluckily, even if you’re really careful with your personal information. thieves can still get your personal information. Sometimes, they get into computer systems at shops, schools, hospitals or businesses. They look for personal information to use or sell to other thieves.
It’s pretty easy for you and your family to stop a thief stealing your identity. You can start with the low-tech defenses (防御). Be careful with your mail and rubbish. And be sure to take care of your wallet, or your backpack. It’s especially important not to carry your Social Security card with you. Keep it in a safe place at home.
Practice some higher-tech defenses, too: protect your computer by turning on an up-to-date firewall (防火墙). Once you’ re online, be careful with your personal information. When you get emails or pop-ups on your computer, don’t respond automatically (自动响应). Stop and think before you click—it could help keep your information private, and keep badware off your computer.
48. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. It is easy for your mail to be stolen.
B. We should put away our mail to avoid identity theft.
C. We cannot throw rubbish in order to protect our personal information.
D. Even some useless things can make you face the danger of identity theft.
49. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the third paragraph?
A. It’s impossible to find a way to stop identity theft.
B. It’s hard for a thief to collect your personal information.
C Thieves are very good at finding ways to collect people’s personal information.
D. People can protect their personal information as long as they are careful enough.
50. Which best shows the writer’s idea about identity theft?
A. Identity theft is an easy problem that can be dealt within a second.
B. Identity theft will finally be stopped as computer software becomes better.
C. Identity theft is a serious problem that can be reduced with a few simple habits.
D. Identity theft happens more commonly to adults because they are not good at using computers.
51. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The different types of software used by ID thieves.
B. How to use credit cards safely to avoid identity theft.
C. The dangers of identity theft and ways to protect against it.
D. Why people should always carry their Social Security cards.
